Polygraphs known for being fool proof with no methods to fool that the military would have complete awareness off.
I mean the military doesn't train you on how to cheat a polygraph, but it's also not really necessary. The polygraph is security theater and people slip by it all the time in the intelligence community without trying.
There are unclassified quarterly audits on how effective the polygraph is at catching criminals on DOD security clearance polys. The funniest audit I saw was a guy who was smuggling drugs to Texas from Mexico since the '80s, passed a dozen polygraphs during his time doing that, and then admitted to drug running during his polygraph like 35 years later because he felt like it before retiring.
There was an old beardy white fuck who was a polygraph examiner at my job. He swore the polygraph wasn't security theater and that it could tell when people were lying. I'd always ask him about the quarterly audits showing people "beating" the machine for years and get into fights with him. That dude also said his job was like "welfare for white people".
Modern witch tests, same bullshit.
